1.How do I use MIR Pro as a plugin 1/12/2021 9:10:25 AM

No problems...I hope we will have the support for high resolution displays in the near future.

2.How do I use MIR Pro as a plugin 1/10/2021 10:35:57 PM

Thanks, Dietz I can insert the MIR Pro in Audacity now.

I have another question related to MIR.  My new laptop's display resolution is 3840x2160 and I already scaled the text size up to 250% but the text display in MIR is still unreadable.   Is there a setting in MIR that allows me to adjust the text size?  Thanks.

3.How do I use MIR Pro as a plugin 1/10/2021 11:49:02 AM

I would like to use MIR Pro as a plugin with Audacity to mix recorded audio files.   Is there a VST plugin dll that I I could copy to use with Audacity? Both MIR Pro and VE Pro are working fine on my computer.   I would greatly appreciate if someone could give me some instructions/tips on how to set it up.  Thanks.

4.USB3 vs. internal sata 10/29/2013 8:05:37 PM

 From what I understand if your computer has more the one USB3 devices and if these USB3 devices share the same controller, and if you plug in a USB2 device to one of the USB3 ports it may cause the controller to operate at the lowest speed of the common devices.  I don't know if this applies to every controller but it is something to watch out for.

5.USB3 vs. internal sata 10/29/2013 1:09:07 AM

 Hi Wofie2112,

I would like to learn more about why a SSD on USB3 gets the same results as a 7200HDD on USB3.   Would you explain a bit more in details?   Is there a benchmark available somewhere that I can look up for the comparision?   Thanks. 

6.USB3 vs. internal sata 10/26/2013 1:09:05 AM

(not sure where my earlier posts went)

I asked a similar question awhile ago and got a response from Cyril.  Typically, the speed is 3Gbit/s for SATA2, 5Gbit/s for USB3, and 6Bbit/s for SSD.  So you don't get any benefit in using SSD with SATA2.  You will gain in performance with USB3 but you don't fully use the SSD capability.  It's best to test the speed of your USB3 port or check you computer spec to determine how fast it is because the performance varies among computers.

7.One SSD internal drive or external USB 2 drive for samples! 9/4/2013 7:57:54 AM

Thanks for the information.  Would you please clarify if my laptop needs to have both USB 3 and SATA III.  If my laptop has only USB 3.0 ports and does not have SATA III can I still get the benefit by connecting an external SATA III SSD via an USB 3 port?

8.One SSD internal drive or external USB 2 drive for samples! 8/31/2013 6:32:24 PM

Does it make sense to put an external SSD on a USB 3 port?

9.Pathetic Download Speed - Not Good Enough 4/9/2013 1:40:28 AM

I just started my 30GB download and I'm getting a constant speed at 1.0 MB/s.  You may want to check your internet connection.

10.Transposing In Vienna Instruments (Standard, Not Pro) 3/29/2013 9:46:50 PM

If it's not recommended by VSL then my suggestion can be disregarded.   Currently, I'm relying on MIR, Dim Strings and other libraries to set up the second instruments/sections.   I have been thinking of giving the pitch-bend/transposition trick a try but maybe it's not worth the trouble.  Thanks for the information.

11.Dimension Strings - slow leg and fast port presets please ? 3/29/2013 8:13:32 AM

 I agree.   It's would be nice if the sample stretching/generating can also be MIDI activated. 

12.Transposing In Vienna Instruments (Standard, Not Pro) 3/29/2013 8:01:37 AM

As this is apparently how the string libraries work,  I love to see VSL implement a global function that would take care of the pitch bend and transposition for an entire preset. The users should not need tinkering around with their sequencer /notation software to setup the second violin section.

13.Harp glissandos in Sibelius 6/1/2012 6:43:41 PM

 Henrik,

There is a Harp Glissando plug-in from Sibelius site that you can download.   It uses the single note sample but it works fairly well.   The plug-in also allows you to specify the harp pedals and the dynamic range.

14.Understanding P, mf, f ,ff 5/30/2012 6:48:44 AM

 Not really.   Some instruments are more consistent than others.   Instruments such as the Vienna horn become very brassy in forte (109-127) and at this dynamic level the sustain patch gets considerablely brassier than the other patches such legato.   I'm still trying to find a way to work around this problem.

15.Request for Mute Buttons in Slot Mixer 4/6/2012 1:20:46 AM

 Actually, it would not be a bad idea to have an audio meter for each slot so that we can properly monitor the volume and also  know exactly which slots are playing.

16.Flute - harmonics, breath tone, air tone 3/31/2012 2:46:35 AM

You may want to take a look at the woodwind instruments from xSample.  They have a number of patches for extended techniques and noises including s-noises, air-noises, key-noises, blow-noises, etc...   Their samples are recorded dry so it should be easy to combine with VSL.

17.Soundset (sibelius) file : no presets !! 3/31/2012 2:34:32 AM

 Just use the presets that come with the Vienna Ensemble Special Edition library that you have installed.

18.String Quartet 3/1/2012 4:51:09 AM

 Beautiful work.

19.Brass library - marcato and + OR legato with 4 velocity layers? 2/29/2012 9:05:05 PM

For me, the main advantage of DB is that they blend better.   However, if your writing is mostly polyphony or for solo brass instruments then Brass I (DVD Collection)  may be a better choice.

20.MIRacle crashed when connected to Sibelius 6.0 1/28/2012 1:09:53 AM

 Hi Andi,

Thank you for looking into this issue.  My guess is it's now fairly easy to track to the location where the memory exception occurs.  Because the 4096 size is commonly the smallest buffer size offered by generic audio drivers, fixing it would give users a better experience and enhance the overall stability of the software. 

 

By using the ASIO driver, I have found a acceptable work around.  My configuration is running entirely on a slim 15" notebook computer so there is no option for me to put in an audio interface.  My workflow does not required low latency as long as everything is synced up properly.  The main concern is to keep a small memory footage and low CPU usage.  In this case, a large buffer size is not a bad thing.  My template has about 50 instruments with more to be added.  It takes about 13.5GB and uses about 50% of the CPU which I find reasonable. 

 

Despite the issue with MIRacle, I'm truly impressed with VE/MIR and VI.  The integration  is solid in working with Sibelius and also in hosting Kontak Player.  I would like to congratulate the entire a team at VSL for their outstanding effort.

21.MIRacle crashed when connected to Sibelius 6.0 1/26/2012 9:15:40 AM

DG,

Thank you for your advise.  This is running on my 15" notebook (which has a very decent configuration -64-bit Windows 7, i7 and 16GB RAM) so it's not possible for me to replace its integrated audio circuit.  Fortunately, I made some adjustment and the ASIO driver works better now so I can switch to ASIO if I need to use MIRacle.  

Andi,

Is it possible for you to test MIRacle with the buffer size set to 4096 in the client?   I just want to see if MIRacle crashes with large buffer size.  Because Sibelius continued to function properly after VE5 had crashed, I didn't think the audio driver could directly cause it to crash but maybe some other settings such large buffer size that caused it.

Thanks.

Hello EP!

DG is right. You should use an ASIO driver. The reason for the crash was most likely the driver you have used.

Best,
Andi

 

Hi Andy, 

My question is that if all the audio components (with the exception of MIRacle) and everything else in VE5 Pro, MIR Pro and VI2 Pro work perfectly fine with this IDT driver so why not MIRacle.   I don't mind using ASIO driver but because ASIO driver does not share the device it's harder for me to quickly switch between audio applications.   Also,  with ASIO VE5 would pop and crack a couple of times during a playback and I have not been able to find a right setting that could fix the issue.   Not being able to use MIRacle is not a big issue for me but I hope this issue will be resolved in a near future.

Best,

23.MIRacle crashed when connected to Sibelius 6.0 1/24/2012 10:48:51 AM

Hi Andy,

I tested a bit more and found out that MIRacle crashed with IDT High Definition Audio CODEC but did not crashed with the Asio4All driver.  However, I would like to use the IDT audio driver if it's possible.   I also just downloaded and installed the new VE5 Pro release (build 10068) but got the same result.  Thanks.

24.MIRacle crashed when connected to Sibelius 6.0 1/24/2012 8:03:44 AM

Hi Andy,

I just emailed you the information regarding the crash.   Thanks. 

25.Sibelius with more than 16 channels 1/22/2012 7:31:14 AM

 I don't have step-by-step instructions  but I found the manual was not clear  that you would need to activate the Vienna Ensemble Pro VST plugin in your Sibelius' Playback Devices for Event Input VST to work.  You don't need to select a soundset for this Vienna Ensemble Pro VST plugin.  With the Vienna Ensemble Pro VST you then connect to an VE5 Pro instance and then you can assign the MIDI input in the Event Input VST plugin.   I'm very glad that VSL provide this elegant work around so that we now have the option to keep all the instruments together in one VE5 Pro instance (and the same MIR room.)
